The largest sum of the 1969 funds, at least $43,000 went to public relations firme headed by James Howard. His firm was involved in analysing the impact of the GOP's "Listening Post" operation. On reading this the President noted that this just doesn't make sense. He questioned what benefit we actually got from studies such as the one done by James Howard. He feels it is vital that we keep this type of wasted spending down. JOHN R. BROWN III
